''Princess Dragon'' is a 2021 French animated movie by [[Creator/{{Ankama}} Ankama Animation]][[note]] Now doing business as Madlab Animations [[/note]].

Bristle is a little girl [[RaisedByWolves raised by dragons]]. She breathes fire and is as strong as ten men, yet she is not actually a dragon - at least not in appearance. When her father [[ADogNamedDog Dragon]] must repay a debt to Sorcerog, Bristle is given away to the froggy witch. Driven to despair, she flees the family cave with her new friend Princess and embarks on a journey of discovery into the world of humans. Among them, she will learn the meaning of friendship and solidarity - and greed, which seems to eat away at humans’ hearts.

----
!!''Princess Dragon'' provides examples of:

* ADogNamedDog: Every major character except Bristle, Mimi and Albert is named after their role in the story.
* ChildOfTwoWorlds: Although Bristle was born and raised in Dragon's cave, her human appearance sets her apart from her kin and allows her to interact with humans without immediately scaring them off.
* DefendsAgainstTheirOwnKind: [[spoiler:At the climax, Princess races against time to help Bristle and stop her father King from razing Dragon's den to take his treasures.]]
* DragonHoard: Dragon's most prized possession is his dragon hoard. [[spoiler:He eventually comes to realize he values his children - all of them - far more than his riches and concedes his wealth to Sorcerog instead of Bristle.]]
* GirlInTheTower: Queen's prison suite is at the top of a tower.
* HumansAreBastards: With the exception of Queen, Mimi and Princess, pretty much every human we see turns a blind eye to suffering - both that of animals and of fellow humans.
* HunterOfMonsters: The King and Princess's fiance, Count Albert.
* LuxuryPrisonSuite: King keeps Queen at the top of his prison tower in retribution for her giving away his riches, but her chamber is still as well-appointed as one might expect for royalty. Ultimately what distinguishes this from a GildedCage is that Queen is explicitly imprisoned behind bars and that the tower has other much less luxurious rooms for other prisoners.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Bristle appears human and retreats into an egg when she is at her most distressed, but otherwise the dragons in ''Princess Dragon'' are mostly of the classic sort.
* RaisedByWolves: Justified - although Bristle appears human, her father Dragon recognizes her as a dragon because of her fire breath.
* WantedASonInstead: Downplayed - although King clearly would've preferred a male heir and finds that Princess takes far too much after her mother, the plot focuses more on his greed than his chauvinism.
